Easily one of the best short fiction collections of this or any other year. All the selections here have appeared in Esquire and are topped off by Ernest Hemingway's masterly portrait of a dying man on safari, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," which Papa submitted to the magazine because he hadn't prepared the agreed-upon nonfiction piece.

Other highlights include Leslie A. Fiedler's twisted commentary on the literati, "Nude Croquet"; Stanley Elkin's scarifying portrait of an angry man, "I Look Out for Ed Wolfe"; Jayne Anne Phillips' moving tale of a sister's love, "Bess"; gritty yarns of army life in Vietnam and elsewhere from Norman Mailer, Tobias Wolff, and Tim O'Brien; and John Updike's witty take on the power of suggestion, "The Rumor."
